The Game is Life: Bankrupt? 10/17

The Game is Life

WK 6: Bankrupt?

Pastor Larry D avis

Why We are Bankrupt:

Too BUSY.

Unbiblical PRIORTIES.

RETIRE too soon.

6–7 Remember: A stingy planter gets a stingy crop; a lavish planter gets a lavish crop. I want each of you to take plenty of time to think it over, and make up your own mind what you will give. That will protect you against sob stories and arm-twisting. God loves it when the giver delights in the giving.

8–11 God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. As one psalmist puts it,He throws caution to the winds, giving to the needy in reckless abandon.His right-living, right-giving ways never run out, never wear out. This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God. 2 Corinthians 9:6–11 (The Message)

Rich Living:

Gives with the RIGHT HEART. (6-7)

Makes TIME using the HABITS. (8-11a)

Wants everyone to BE RICH. (8-11b)
